11x03 - Magic Is in the Air

Post by bunniefuu »

Penn & Teller
Theatre at the Rio Hotel

in Las Vegas.

Here's our host, Brooke Burke!

Welcome to Fool Us.

If you're looking
for jaw-dropping illusions,

we've got you covered.

Diabolical sleight of hand?
Check.

Outlandish mental feats? Yep.

We've got an amazing array
of magic for you

because you just never know
what type of trick

will trip up magic's
greatest duo, Penn & Teller!

As always, Penn & Teller
have no idea

who's trying to win a Fool Us
trophy from them,

so let's reveal our first
magician of the night.

Hi. I'm Magic Singh,
and you might know me from this.

Or this.

But most likely, you know me
as the magician in a turban.

My turban is my identity.

And I wear it like
it's my crown.

I would always be told
that I would never get on TV

because of it,
and that I should cut my hair.

But I decided to stick with it.

Firstly,
because I look cool in it,

and secondly,
I feel powerful and regal

like a king.

I incorporate phones
with my magic

because everyone is carrying
a phone on them these days.

It's less suspicious to do
a magic trick with an iPhone

than cash or coins anymore.

I live in London
with my amazing wife

and we get to travel
and have amazing experiences

performing magic for people
all over the world.

I'm living my dream right now.

Penn & Teller, I can't wait
to see you on stage

and hopefully blow your minds.

Give it up for the amazing
mind of Magic Singh.

Thank you very much.
Good evening, everyone.

I'm Magic Singh.

This small device
has completely changed my life.

Being a magician,
I can take my phone,

film a magic trick,
and then immediately send it

across the digital universe
all over the world.

It's the perfect tool for me
to showcase my magic to anyone,

at any time.
You could be commuting to work

on the New York subway,

or sitting on a toilet
in Thailand,

my videos will blow your mind.

The only problem with this

are some of the comments
that I often receive.

Things like,
"It's a camera trick."

"It's edited." "It's fake."

So I would like to use
tonight's opportunity

to show you that can do
these things in real time.

I'd like to start
with something traditional

that we're all used to seeing,

that we all truly love
and appreciate.

Penn, can I ask you please
to give me a number

from one to 10,
and say it out loud?

- Two.
- Two. Good choice.

- Thank you.
- And Teller,

using your hands
in a very creative way,

can you give me a suit.

Either hearts, clubs,
diamonds or spades?

I take it that that's a spade.
So we have the two of spades.

With me I have my wallet,
and inside my wallet,

I have an envelope.

But inside this envelope,
I have one card,

and it is the two of spades.

Thank you very much.
Gentlemen, as you are bang on,

I would like to take this
a step further.

So, could I please ask Brooke,

Penn & Teller to join me
on stage

as we create some more
magical moments,

and everyone else, give our
stars a round of applause.

Brooke, we're going
to start with you first.

- Okay.
- I'd like you to imagine

you have the ultimate box
of children's crayons.

- Okay.
- So this box contains

every color in the universe.

Okay, visualize
that for a moment.

Yes.

Beautiful. Now from this box,

I would like for you
to pick three colors.

Three of your favorite colors,
and these can be any colors

you like,
but do it in your mind.

- Okay.
- I'll give you a moment.

- Got it? Fantastic.
- Got it.

Now, about a week ago,

I recorded a video back
in London.

And, I'm going to play it
for you in just a moment,

but before I do.
Brooke, I'm going to ask

a simple question in the video,

and all I'd like for you to do
is simply answer out loud

so everyone in the theater
can hear this.

- Okay. Yes.
- Does that make sense?

Wonderful. I'm going to step
behind the podium now,

set the video, and hopefully,

you can all have a good view.
Like so.

Okay. Recording.

What's up, everyone?
It's Magic Singh

all the way from London, UK.

I can't wait to be on that stage
in fabulous Las Vegas

with two legendary magicians.
Penn & Teller.

And of course,
the lovely Brooke.

Now, on this pad of paper
behind me,

I've written down a prediction

which I'm going to show all
of you in just a moment.

But first, Brooke.

I asked you to pick three colors

from an infinite box of crayons.

Take those three colors
and narrow it down just to one,

and say out loud
your favorite color.

- Turquoise.
- Turquoise.

Okay, Brooke. I presume
that you've named the color

and everyone in the theatre
has heard it,

and I hope it matches mine.

Okay.

Thank you, Brooke. Well played.

Penn & Teller, please step
forward towards the camera

so you can see the screen,
and I'll prepare

the next prediction.

So Penn & Teller,
you can see the screen.

- I hope.
- Wonderful.

I'm going to ask another
simple question

to the both of you. Penn,
you say out loud your answer.

Teller, you're simply
going to use your hands.

- Okay.
- Nice and easy.

Hi, Penn & Teller.

You should hopefully be
standing in front of my phone,

watching this video.

This prediction
is a two-digit number

which I'm going to show you
all in just a moment.

But first, I need the two of you

to generate this random
two-digit number.

So, starting with Penn.

Can I ask you to name out loud

any number from one to nine?

- Go for it.
- Nine, please.

Good choice.

Okay. Penn, I presume

that you've named the number

and everyone has heard it.

And now, Teller.

Using your fingers and thumbs,

can you also give me a number
from one to nine

and show it to everyone
in the theatre.

Nine. 99.

This means we now have
a new two-digit number,

generated by Penn & Teller
themselves.

And, I hope it matches mine,
here in London.

Thank you, in the theatre.

- Thank you guys.
- Magic Singh, everyone.

Thank you.

Wow. Wow, wow, wow.

Do you mostly do magic
with contemporary things

like phones, or do you do
old-school magic as well?

I, honestly, only started
doing this in the last few years

because what is everyone
carrying these days?

It's a smartphone.
Because back in the days,

I'm talking like
the 17th, 18th century,

people would carry
the pocket scarf or a tophat.

Or, I don't know
about the rabbit,

but, you know,
you do amazing things

with those things
that people carry.

So, to be able
to do something incredible

with something so personal
to you,

it blows people's minds,
and it's good fun.

What goes through your mind
in this moment

while you're waiting?

You know, it's...
When I watch this on TV myself,

- it's nerve-wracking.
- Of course.

But, I think, you've made me
feel relaxed. I'll be honest.

- Okay. Good.
- And you guys are pretty cool

as well, so thank you for
keeping me chill. So thank you.

So at the moment,
I feel comfortable,

but now you've mentioned it.
Yeah, the nerves are back.

Well, Singh,

I'm still personally
trying to figure out

how you were in London
and you knew that

my favorite color was turquoise.

So let's see if in fact

Penn & Teller
have figured it out.

- Sure.
- Boys.

Boy, Magic Singh.
You just light up the stage.

You just have so much charisma.

And then you have such
a great style.

What I lliked about it most,

Teller pointed this out,

but I agree with him,
is that there's just no jive.

You know,
when people do mentalism,

there's always all these
layers and layers

of complications and procedure,

and all of that,
"Boom! Name a card.

Boom, it's in my pocket!"

You know? There's just multiple
reasons that we just love that.

You know, there's just
what mentalism should be.

You name it. I know it. Bang.

And that's a trick that could've
been done 100 years ago,

and then you go to the iPhone,

which I don't think could've
been done 10 years ago.

And it's wonderful
to see magicians

run after whatever
the technology is.

I mean, they invented cards
to play games

and magicians came in and said,

"How can we do tricks
with this?"

And you said you love

doing tricks
with that technology,

you love doing tricks
with phones,

and we've seen a lot
of tricks with iPhones.

And we've seen a lot of stuff

where people try to chase
the technology,

and yours was just
instantaneous,

and wonderful,
and technologically

so, so brilliant.
We just loved

every moment of it.
I think I snuck in

a thing or two, but boy,
we love the act. It's great.

Singh, do you think that
Penn & Teller are dialed in

to how you did your magic?

I think so. I mean,

these two are legends
of magic and true scholars

of the art, but it's been
an absolute pleasure

- to be on this stage
- Wonderful to have you.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you so much.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Magic Singh, everyone.
That was amazing.

We've got more of the best
magicians in the world,

including our two and only,

Penn & Teller performing
later on, so stick around.

Welcome back to the world's
best magic show.

Let's meet another one
of the world's best magicians.

I'm a magician
from Stuttgart, Germany.

I started out working
in TV behind the scenes.

I wrote jokes for other people,

and I thought up skits
for others to do.

I even worked offstage,
helping other magicians

performing their acts
until I found myself

wondering what it would be like

if I would be in that spotlight,

so I followed my heart
and started performing,

but never in front of such
a huge audience like this.

I'll be doing an act
that's been part of my life

ever since I was 13 years old.

Penn, Teller,
I think I perfected it.

I think it is finally what
I always dreamed it could be.

Put your hands together
for magic world champion,

Nikolai Striebel!

Nikolai Striebel!

Wow, wow, wow. That
was so much fun

to watch Teller's face.
He was just astonished.

Is this act sort of a dream
coming true for a little boy?

At least it's my dream,
you know?

I always dreamed of and imagined

how I could make it possible

to have a paper airplane
which becomes life

and do its own things.

You know, in this act,
I can really stay like a child,

you know, and being on stage
is playing around, doing magic,

is like staying in the childhood
for a bit longer.

And I enjoy that.

And I hope you enjoyed
what I shared with you.

Okay, Nikolai. It's time to talk
to Penn & Teller,

and maybe they're going
to fly in a Fool Us trophy.

- Good luck. Boys?
- Let's see.

Hi, Nikolai.
I can certainly see

why this is an award-winning
routine. It's just beautiful.

I, disagree with Teller on this,

but I do not like animations
of objects.

I don't like objects
getting up and dancing

and doing stuff
with the performer.

That seems cheesy and awful.
I never like it.

You have just defied it
with a paper airplanes

in a way that made me really,
really like it.

Now...

The problem with an act
like this is,

as much as we love it,

we have an awful lot
of experience

with this kind of thing.

If you know
what I'm talking about.

You added a lot of juggling
in there.

There's a lot of stuff in there

that's just simply
wicked hard to do.

I mean, it's not really
a secret.

It's actually a skill as well.

But we know the general idea
of how you did it.

But there's specifics you did
that we have no idea.

Just no idea.

And I think because
the specifics are so strong

and the act is so overwhelming,

I got to say you fooled us.

Thank you so much.

Nikolai Striebel!

Well done. Really beautiful.

- Thank you.
- Nikolai Striebel.

Thank you so much, thank you.

Woo!

Well, that's one fooler
on the board,

and there could be another one
by the end of the night,

so don't go anywhere.

Welcome back, everyone.

We've already had
one fooler tonight.

Let's see if our next magician
can surprise us, too.

I guess I've always
been a doodler.

Whenever I'm stressed,
I basically let my hand

move around on the paper
until there's one giant mess.

And then I consciously
fill in the scribble

to a point where I just
look at it and I'm like,

"Yeah, that's done. I like it."

I have the same process
when it comes to magic.

I take a bunch of different
methods that might not

go together,
and I combine them with objects

that wouldn't normally
go together,

so you have this
abstract sort of mess.

But then I sort of refine it

until I have an actual
magic trick that I've made.

My imagination runs wild,

but sometimes it's fun
to let other people's

imagination take the lead.

Penn, Teller,
I think you'll be amazed.

Here with two randomly selected

members of our studio audience,

give it up for Dreygon!

You know, with a name
like Dreygon,

I really had only
two options in life.

One, I could die an early death
in Game of Thrones,

or two, I become a magician.

Obviously, I chose option two.

Now, my favorite magic
involves imagination.

For example,

a drawing of an envelope.

Doesn't seem that magical,

but if all of you
use your imagination...

you make it become real.

And to me, that is magic.

Thank you guys.

- What was your name?
- Max.

- Max. And what your name?
- Abigail.

- Abigail.
Today, we're going to be testing

Max and Abigail's imaginations.

To begin with, we're going
to start by showing each of them

a series of images
and asking them what they see.

No pressure, Max,
but you're up first.

What do you see here?

- A rectangle.
- A rectangle.

I love the way your brain works.

We'll add a little bit
more detail to this.

Abigail, now's your time
to shine. What do you see here?

- A rectangular box.
- A rectangular box.

Very specific.

But I could shade this in
and give it more depth,

so you know what it really is,
or I could just do this.

Max, do you have any idea
what this could possibly be?

- Might be a cardbox.
- Maybe.

Well, you're exactly right.
Look.

Obviously, a cardbox
isn't complete

without a deck of cards.

You did amazing Max. Wow, wow.

Now, I do want to take this
one step further

by using an image
known as an inkblot test.

For those of you who haven't
seen an inkblot before,

basically, different people
with different personalities

see different things
when they look at them.

For example, Abigail.

What do you see when you
look at this?

I see a butterfly.

- A butterfly, really?
- Yes.

You don't see a scary clown
holding a machete?

No, that's just me?

Alright, well,
let's keep this moving then.

Abigail, can you imagine
that the butterfly you see

could just...

Maybe if you concentrate
hard enough, maybe you could...

you can make it fly. Wow.

So far you guys are feeling
just how powerful

your imaginations are.
You know, you produced

a box of cards, a butterfly.

Well, now it's my time to shine.

I'm going to show off by using
an imaginary prediction.

Ooh...

In order to make
an imaginary prediction,

all you need are a couple
slips of paper

and...

an imaginary pen.

So, this will be my first
imaginary prediction,

right there.

And this will be my second.

Now, before we open those,

I want to show you guys
my version of an inkblot.

In fact, Max and Abigail,

can you guys face the audience

so you guys don't
see this just yet?

Thank you, thank you.

I call this a doodle blot

because it's a bunch
of scribbly lines

that Max and Abigail
are going to look into

until they see one clear image
in the chaos of the lines.

So Abigail,
I'm going to have you go first.

Obviously,
you see the scribbles,

but I want you to look
within them

and think of one clear image
that you can make out.

- Do you have one?
- Yes.

Perfect. Don't forget it,
and you can face forward.

Alright. Now, Max, I'm going
to have you look at this

in landscape mode as opposed
to portrait mode.

Hopefully,
with a different perspective,

you see something
completely different.

Okay, so look within the lines.

Think of one image
you can make out. You got one?

Perfect. Don't forget it.

Alright. You can face forward.
Now think about it.

Two people looked
at the same scribbles

and thought of an image.

Maybe they thought
of the same image,

or maybe two different images.

I don't know, so let's find out.

You guys can face me.

Abigail, we'll start with you.
What image did you go for?

- I went for an apple.
- An apple, really?

- Did you go for an apple?
- I didn't go for an apple.

- What did you go for?
- I went for a tree.

A tree.
An apple, tree.

You remember my imaginary
predictions?

Here. Max, Abigail.
Can you guys

hold your hands out flat
like a table?

And just hold on to your paper.

Hold on to your paper.

And on the count of three,
I want you to open the paper

flat like a book.

Yes, just put
your thumb there. Perfect.

Alright. You guys
can face forward.

An apple and a tree.

Three, two, one.

Max, open your paper.
That's a tree.

Abigail, open yours.
That's an apple.

That's amazing.
Thank you guys so much.

Dreygon, everyone.

Woo!

Wow, wow, wow.

That was brilliant.

Thank you.

I don't think we've ever

seen anything quite like that
on the show.

Well, that's a huge compliment
to me.

I mean, everything in that
is sort of like different

art pieces that I've made.

I think of them less
of magic and more as like...

like art projects.

Have you always had
a wild imagination?

Like, tell me about
yourself as a young boy.

It's so funny, because like,
growing up as a magician,

like, going through
elementary school,

middle school, high school,
all the other kids, like,

if the teacher catches them
on their phone

or like with their earbuds in,
they confiscate them.

Instead of having my phone,
I'd have like decks of cards,

like magic tricks.
So the teacher's drawer is like,

"What? Who's in this class?"

And did that
get you into trouble?

Yeah. They weren't
a big fan of the magic.

Okay, Dreygon.
Let's go to the boys

and see if they have
a trophy for you.

Alright.

Dreygon. It's a great act,

and it brings up something.

Well, first of all,
I'm going to ask you this.

That's your trick, right?
Little bit?

- Yeah. Everything there.
- Everything's yours.

You know, a lot of people
think that magic

is thinking and practicing.

It's certainly that, but also,
many magicians,

and I think you're one
of the best case we had of it,

build everything yourself,
right?

You created it and built it.

And the craftsmanship
is really phenomenal.

- Thank you.
- And magic is one the artforms

where that's a really
important part of it.

In music, you don't have
many people

building their own instruments,

but you're building
your own props here,

and that idea of drawing
something two-dimensional

having it appear
three-dimensional,

is something
that has grabbed the imagination

of many people for years,

and no one's done it
better than you.

- Wow.
- Just really, really beautiful.

- Thank you.
- And some of the techniques

you used are things
that we've used ourselves.

Of course, we made
other people build them.

You did such a fabulous job.

All those appearances
were so attractive.

They just held
together beautifully.

You know, you actually said,

"People see different things
in a Rorschach test."

- Yeah, yeah.
- And they do. They really do.

And we just loved
the whole routine.

And besides being
a stuningly good performer

and having practiced so much,

people need to give you credit

for also being
a wonderful craftsperson.

Thank you.

And I think I snuck a few
things in there, but we'll see.

Do those current words mean
anything to you?

- Yes.
- Because they don't to me.

It lets me know that they know
what they're talking about.

- Yeah.
- You didn't fool them,

but you sure entertained us.

Thank you so much.

Dreygon, everyone.

Stay where you are.
More amazing magic awaits

when Fool Us returns.

Welcome back.
Here to impress us

and distress Penn & Teller
is our next magician.

Hi. I'm Sara Rodriguez
and I'm from Vigo, Spain.

In Spain,
there's a lot of magicians.

Very kind community.

And we all help each other
learn and master our craft.

I have a magic company in Vigo

and we run a small
theatre where we put on shows

and have magic classes
for kids and adults.

While I do most styles of magic,

I prefer card magic
above all the other forms.

One day soon,
I hope to write a magic book

featuring the card tricks
that I have invented.

I'm very excited
to come to Las Vegas

and perform for Penn & Teller.

It's like a dream come true.

Give it up for Spanish
sorceress, Sara Rodriguez.

Thank you, everyone.
Thank you for this nice welcome.

- You're welcome.
- Well, Penn, Teller.

I know you've been fooled
by some magicians before,

but tonight, with any luck,

you're going to be fooled
by a deck of cards.

More specifically,
by these four... Don't peek.

By these four cards.

Now, you're going to choose
three cards

that are very different
from each other.

So, Teller, how about touching
a picture card?

Any picture card you want.

This one? Okay.
The queen of spades.

Could you please sign it for me?

Um, Penn. Touch another one.
Perhaps a number card this time?

Okay, I'll do...

This one?
Okay. The five of hearts.

Sign it for me please.
Finally, Brooke.

Touch any card you want.
Just point.

- This one?
- Yes, please.

- Okay. The five of diamonds.

Can you please take the pen
and sign it for me?

Sure.

Thank you very much, Brooke.

That's a nice signature.

So we've got
the five of diamonds.

Thank you, please. Thank you.

So we've got
the five of diamonds,

queen of spades,
and five of hearts.

Just try to remember your cards
for the finale. Okay?

Now, let's talk about
these four cards.

The ones I put aside
at the start of the trick.

These are...

the magic cards.

These are the four aces,

but it's important to remember
that the aces have been

separated from the chosen cards
the entire time.

Now, let's take your cards

and put them back into the deck.
Let's put the...

five of hearts in the middle,

and square it out.

Now with your other five,
Brooke.

This time, maybe you could
help me a little bit.

- Sure.
- So, just with your finger.

Just square it up
slowly and nicely.

Perfect.
So, now, for the last one,

I'm going to need some help.

So, maybe, you, Teller.
Can you help me?

Okay. Could you please cut
the deck more or less in half?

Perfect. Place it
on the palm of your hand.

Like this. Perfect.

And now, with your other hand,

you're going to more or less

cut half of the deck
and keep it in the air.

Yes, cut.

Perfect. Okay, now.
Let's put the card here.

Put the other cards on top.

And, if you can come closer.
Thank you, that's perfect.

Square it up and cover it
with your other hand.

Like this. Perfect.

Now that we've done that,

this is the one time

where I need the help
of the four aces.

I'm going to try to invisibly

steal your signed cards
from the deck.

But I'm still not
going to touch it.

Here we go.

Can you lift it a little bit
and closer to me please?

Yeah, that's it.

Well, if you grab the deck
too tightly, it's impossible.

So please, Teller.
Separate your fingers

a little bit
so there's a gap in between

and I can reach the deck.
Lovely. Thank you.

Your queen.

- Was this your four of...
- Five.

Five. I was checking
if you were...

I was paying attention.

And, what was it again?

- Five of diamonds.
- That's right.

The five of diamonds.

Here are your cards
with your signatures.

Thank you very much.

Well, I was expecting
a good reaction. to be honest.

But it's okay,
because remember I told you,

"It wouldn't be me
doing the trick."

It would be...

the aces. And as you can see,

between the aces there are now
three cards.

Your queen of spades,
your five of diamonds,

and finally,
your five of hearts.

Thank you very much.
Please give the aces

a big round of applause.

And, tell me.
Did my aces fool you?

Let's hear it
for Sara Rodriguez, everyone.

Come on over, let's chat.

Do you travel a lot for magic?

Just in my country, but outside,
this is one of the first times.

- So yeah, I'm pretty excited.
- First time?

- Yes, it's only the first time.
- Welcome to Las Vegas.

Thank you.

What does it feel like
to be up here

and to share the stage
with Penn & Teller?

Well, it feels great,
because they are these legends

in magic, so yeah.
I'm really happy to be here.

Is it intimidating
to be in this setting?

It is a little bit, yes.
Because, you know,

it's far from home,
speaking another language,

big audience. So yes, it is.

You're brilliant. Alright, Sara.

Let's find out if Penn & Teller
know your card magic secrets.

- Are you ready?
- Yeah, I am.

- Boys, are you ready?
- I think we are.

Sara, that was just great.

When we first sat down,

the first thing Teller
said to me was,

"I couldn't do that."

And if he couldn't do it,
I certainly couldn't do that,

but just amazing.
Beautiful, beautiful stuff.

And this routine is a variation,

I think called the collectors.

You make it much harder.

If anybody's searching
for the collectors,

they won't find this,
because it's usually done

with the cards in the deck,
and you did it remotely,

which makes it, technically,

a zillion times more difficult,

because you're out there,
away from the deck

and the deck
is in Teller's hands.

I'm telling you stuff you know,

but there's also
other people listening.

And that makes it much,
much, much more difficult.

And you did a beautiful,
beautiful job with it.

Because we know the plot
of the collectors,

we're able to watch you
and stay with you.

So we can watch you,
we just can't do it.

So we loved watching you.
It's really, really great.

We will never be as good as you
are at sleights,

but we don't think,
with us staring you down,

that you fooled us.
But boy, it was a good routine.

So Sara, do you think
they figured it out?

Yeah, they did.

We loved it. Thank you so much

for being here with us.

- Thank you everyone.
- Fantastic job.

Sara Rodriguez, everyone.

This show's not done yet,
and neither are Penn & Teller.

See our iconic duo perform
when we come back.

We're back.
Now I know that you're expecting

a trick from Penn & Teller,

but can I interest you
in one by Pif, Pop, and Squire?

What do you have for us, Pif?

Hello, Brooke,
how are you doing?

I thought I'd show you
the natural affinity

that us magic creatures have
with a deck of playing cards.

- Natural.
- We've got some nice big cards,

so we can't be accused
of sleights of paw.

- No sleights of paw?
- Paw. You've got paws, right?

Alright. We need to start
by mixing them up.

- Mix them up.
- So we just mix them up, okay?

And anytime you want, Brooke,

just call it stop,
and we'll stop mixing it-

- Stop.
- Just there?

Sure.

So there all nicely mixed now,
yeah?

- Yes. Yes.
- Happy?

Okay. Here's what's
going to happen.

I'm going to try
and spell a card.

Okay.

What's the best card
in the deck?

- Ace?
- Let's start there.

- Yeah.
Let's start with the ace.

Now this is all done
just natural talent of my son.

Exactly. No, like,
funny moves or aything.

- None.
- Just look. Slow as I can.

A. C. E.

And with that magic...

Make connection
with the camera, though.

I did, clearly, show it
to the camera, actually.

You know, the best magicians
in the world are Spanish.

Watch this.

D. O. S. Dos.

- That's what you're going for?
- Which means two.

Right there. Boom.
Done in Spanish.

Done in Spanish.
Done in Spanish.

- Now, Teller's going to do one.
- Okay.

- He's been around magic a lot.
- Why don't you go for three,

Teller?
Let's not break the mold.

Come on, Teller.

T...

H...

R...

E...

E...

Tough one, this is.

Son of the dragon!

- Look at that.
- The most difficult one,

and he nails it.

Nicely done, Teller.

Why don't you give it a go
Brooke?

You've been around magicians
for, like, two seasons now.

Some of the magic
should've rubbed off.

Little bit of magic
should be wearing off.

Going for four.

F... O...

U... R...

- Four!
- Boom!

She's magic, Brooke!

- No, that's not right.
- What did I do wrong?

Maybe there's something wrong
with the cards. Let me just...

- Okay.
- Let me see.

- That's weird.
- How do we know it's...

- Sorry.
- It's probably the cards,

Brooke. It's not on you.

F... O... U...

This is not going to work.

The cards are probably
not working.

- You're magic. My magic son.
- That's magic.

The pop showed you how.

Just double-check
those for me, Pop.

- Sure.
- Double-check them.

F... I...

V... E...

And look at that.
Look at that. Look at that.

- Insane.
- There it is, boom. Boom. Boom.

Brooke, you do six.
Six is actually the easiest.

You're giving me another
try here, okay.

- Finish!
- Ready? Ready?

Alright.

S... I... X...

Hang on a second.
I know what it is.

I know what it is.
You're just not relaxed enough.

- I am.
- Look at the three of us,

we're very relaxed.
Look how relaxed Teller is.

- Teller.
- Just try.

Watch him, watch him.

S... I... X...

Yeah. Now turn it over.

God, he's so relaxed,
and it just happened.

- So relaxed. Almost dozing off.
- It's effortless.

- Why don't you do seven?
- I am relaxed, I am relaxed.

Yeah, here we go.
Give her a little shoulder rub.

I am. I am. Alright, ready?

S... E...

V... E... N...

Turn! No.

- Teller. Ten.
- This is getting awkward.

This is slightly embarrassing.

Let me see. S. E. V. E. N.

I mean, it's not even impressive
when you do seven like that.

But you can do eight, Brooke.

- A. T. E. Ate.
- Don't forget the G.

- Okay. I got this.
- There's an H in there,

but it's silent.
- I did one in Spanish.

Touch those for me, Teller.
Okay, ready?

E... I... G...

H... T...

- Son of a dragon.
- This is...

- Guys, what's wrong?
- I mean, at this point...

Teller, show her how
to do eight.

Okay, Teller.

The breathing,
we forgot the breathing!

We do it so automatically,
we just forgot.

There's something you guys
aren't telling me here.

E... I...

G... H... T.

It was the breathing,
we just left it out.

- There's eight.
- Boom!

- Here we go.
- Just like that.

Okay, we'll try for nine.

This feels like a set up, guys.

- Be relaxed.
- I am.

And breathe, breathe.

I want a little magical power
right now.

N. Breathe.

I. Breathe. N. Breathe.

Show nine.

Come on, you guys.

- You want to do the nine?
- Teller?

- You do it.
- Are you going to do it?

Teller's going to do it.
Teller could do that.

N...

At this point,
it's just getting embarrassing.

- This is embarrassing.
- I... N... E.

Nine.
There's the nine right there.

- Teller.
- Why doesn't Brooke do ten?

Yeah, you can't
go wrong with ten.

Come on, Brooke. Come on.
Bring us in to land, Brooke.

Ten. T... E... N.

- Brooke is magic!
- Brooke is magic!

Brooke is magic.

Brooke is magic!
Brooke is magic!

I thought tonight's show
was a perfect ten,

and I can't wait to show you
our next episode.

We'll see you
next time on Fool Us.

Brooke is magic.

Brooke is magic.
Brooke is magic.

Brooke is magic.
